Propagators

Propagators are the main building blocks of Models, as they define the time splitting scheme of every algorithm. A propagator is used to advance a subset of a model’s variables by one time step, \(t \to t + \Delta t\).

Check out the following tutorials for how to use propagators in Struphy:

• Tutorial 1 - Kinetic particles

• Tutorial 2 - Fluid particles

• Tutorial 6 - Poisson

• Tutorial 7 - Heat equation

• Tutorial 8 - Maxwell equations

• Tutorial 9 - Vlasov-Maxwell

• Tutorial 10 - Linear MHD equations
